SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on October 19, 2022. 87 FR 63527 (Oct. 19, 2022). The complaint, as 
supplemented and amended, alleges violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into 
the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the 
United States after importation of certain raised garden beds and 
components thereof by reason of misappropriation of trade secrets and 
unfair competition, the threat or effect of which is to destroy or 
substantially injure a domestic industry. Id. The Commission's notice 
of investigation named as respondents Huizhou Green Giant Technology 
Co., Ltd., of Guangdong China; Utopban International Trading Co., Ltd., 
d/b/a Vegega of Rosemead, CA; Utopban Limited of Hong Kong; The Hydro 
Source Inc., d/b/a Forever Garden Beds of El Monte, CA; and VegHerb, 
LLC, d/b/a Frame It All of Cary, NC. Id. The complainant is Vego 
Garden, Inc. of Houston, TX (``Vego''). Id. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is participating in the investigation. Id.
    On December 13, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID, which granted 
Vego's unopposed motion to amend the complaint and notice of 
investigation to change the name of respondent The Hydro Source, Inc., 
d/b/a Forever Garden Beds to Forever Garden. The ID found that the 
change will not prejudice the rights of any parties to the 
investigation and reflects the true identity of the respondents 
involved in this investigation. No petitions for review of the ID were 
filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
    The complaint and notice of investigation are hereby amended as 
follows: the name of respondent ``The Hydro Source Inc., d/b/a Forever 
Garden Beds'' is replaced with ``Forever Garden.''
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on January 
10, 2023.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 10, 2023.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
